2023 Summary Part 1

The year is coming to a close. I heard some medical news from China about hospitals getting swamped with respiratory cases. China denied this is unusual. It is the flu season after all. I have started a supplementation regime in 2023. I am taking the following: Berberine. No recommended dosage but I am taking 2 x 1000 mg caps. Combined with 250 mg milk thistle. Vitamin D3. RDI for it is 800 IU. I am taking 5000 IU caps. Combined with 200 mg Vitamin K2. Magnesium. Magnesium citrate at first and changed it to magnesium glycinate. RDI is 420 mg. I am taking 680 mg in a white gel caps. Omega 3. DHA and EPA are forms of omega 3. These are the active molecules of marine oils. Source is fatty fish oil. Salmon and sardines are good ones. I eat sardines but I am supplementing with 690 mg of EPA and 260 mg of DHA. Zinc Glycinate. Choline Bitartrate. Milk Thistle. These supplements are taken in two white gel caps. I get 30 mg of zinc glycinate, 30 mg of choline and 300 mg of milk thistle. X-ray showed atherosclerotic aorta last September annual medical for my health insurance. I am borderline obese, at worse, obese stage 1. Loosing 10% of my weight is crucial to my health.

Password Issues On Ubuntu Login

I found myself unable to enter my login credentials when prompted to do so in Ubuntu. I think I might have changed it then forget about it. I've been running the current session for more days than I should have. I forget. So what's the solution to my problem. How do I get in to my system now? It involved getting into the grub menu somehow. I am uncertain as to how to do that exactly in your system. So there's a couple of ways to do it (finger's crossed). When booting at system start, use the esc key or the shift key. The first one worked for me. The timing is key. Wait until the bios banner shows then hit the esc key once. I am using Ubuntu 22.04.4 here. I have a current version of grub. The grub menu will give you options and the one you want is: root. Yes you want root privileges to set the root password. It should give you a terminal access where you can issue commands. Type: #mount -rw -o -s remount / ==> this command mounts the filesyste...

Pacman Has to Get Better

I finally got my printers working. I got cups (and cupsd in the /etc/rc.conf) I installed hpoj and a group of printer drivers. So to get my Arch linux to recognize there's a usb printer connected to my system I have to run a daemon (ptal-init setup) and include it in /etc/rc.conf. That finally enabled (after a reboot) my GNOME control center to acknowledge that there is indeed an HP-3900 at the end of my usb port. The real personal story behind my saga with a printer is pacman. It is now throwing 'network not reachable' everytime I start it. Every download and sync. I ran --debug and ping ip addresses and so far I will conclude that it's a really really slow ftp server. The server is so slow pacman is timing out connections. It's unusable guys. My first rolling release distro and I've decided that Arch rises and falls with the performance of their package manager. Great distro for the DIY community. But sorry I can't recommend Arch linux to my mother who jus...

Webapps in Unity

So it has been 4 months since Ubuntu 14.04 came out. This is LTS and supported for 6 years by Canonical. The first mobile device with Ubuntu pre-installed is promised to come out later this year, 2014. It's time to check out how the apps perform so far. It is a good idea. I use Gmail and Twitter and Facebook. Why not a webapp in a desktop? So I start the Twitter and Gmail webapp. So far it has crashed my computer 6 times. Not a very good sign. On the other hand it does work but not as stable as opening them in Firefox. -- Use my PGP key if you want to encrypt your replies/messages to me.
